FROM THE PASTOR
17th Sunday in Ordinary
Time
If you had to evacuate your home in a few minutes, what two or three items would you want to take with you? What’s the most priceless thing in your house? Chances are that it is something that has sentimental value: a grandparent’s watch, a photo album, or a letter written by a loved one. We know we can always replace things we buy, but the truly valuable things are those that we treasure in our hearts. They represent the bonds of love that make us who were are. We spend a lot of time pursuing treasure that is not all that valuable. Think of all the time that can be wasted trying to make more money, get a better car, or build a bigger home. Yet we would trade it all for our family, for health, or for love. So why don’t we spend more time pursuing the things that count? Choosing your values and then acting on them is a decision that every couple needs to make. Do you take a job that pays more, but requires lots of overtime? Or do you make due with the smaller home or older car so that you can spend time together? Find the things on which you spend the most time, money and effort and you’ll find your treasure. Let us pray for Sebastiana Usrino who was buried from our parish during the last week. Our condolences and prayers to her family and friends. May she rest in peace. Amen. REFLECTION
What is your new life in Christ worth to you? Do you love His words more than gold and silver, as we sing in today’s Psalm? Would you, like the characters in the Gospel today, sell all that you have in order to possess the kingdom He promises to us? If God were to grant any wish, would you follow Solomon’s example in today’s First Reading—asking not for a long life or riches, but for wisdom to know God’s ways and to desire His will? The background for today’s Gospel, as it has been for the past several weeks, is the rejection of Jesus’ preaching by Israel. The kingdom of heaven has come into their midst, yet many cannot see that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises, a gift of divine compassion given that they—and we, too—might live. We too must ever discover the kingdom anew, to find it as a treasure ‐ a pearl of great price. By comparison with the kingdom, we must count all else as rubbish. And we must be willing to give up all that we have—all our priorities and plans—in order to gain it. Jesus’ Gospel discloses what Paul, in today’s Epistle, calls the purpose of God’s plan. That purpose is that Jesus be the firstborn of many brothers. His words give understanding to the simple, the childlike. As Solomon does today, we must humble ourselves before God, giving ourselves to His service. Let our prayer be for an understanding heart, one that desires only to do His will. We are called to love God, to delight in His law, and to forsake every false way. And we are to conform ourselves daily ever more closely to the image of His Son. If we do this, we can approach His altar as a pleasing sacrifice, confident that all things work for the good—
that we whom He has justified, will also one day be glorified. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Monday ‐ Friday 8 am ‐ 4 pm PRAYER CORNER

Through thoughtful musical choices and preparation,
the music ministry helps the congregation enter into

ALTAR SERVERS
The primary role of the altar server is to assist the
priest in the celebration of the Mass. This is done
through specific actions and by setting an example to
the congregation by active participation in the liturgy.
We are blessed to have ten altar servers at St. Joseph St. Lazarus. Please contact the Parish office or Fr.
Mirek for more information.
